It's not so much that I mind a second chance at happiness. It's that I don't agree with a year in between so much.


Once Daniel's daughter Mackenlee took Ashton's bite, I was definitely entertaining the idea if she in turn bit Archer what would happen. She's a wolf shifter and he's a fox shifter. So, would that make him full fox plus the whole baby making deal? But of course, Madam..... So we get a year later epi and a new addition to the fam with baby Max. Is it me or all the later books are like in fast forward motion at the end of them with A Year Later, Five Years Later, etc.?

Aaaand I can see this comin a mile away... Lucas and Bane are mates. So what's the real story with Kingley and Bane? They aren't bad men deep down but involved with bad men.. As Archer chooses to think about them. But while there's no such thing as black and white, there are shades of grey... I'm not sure I would be ok with whatever excuses are used to make Bane into a good guy and mate unless it's a REALLY good excuse that can be pulled off.

A série conta atualmente com 40 volumes publicados e eu adoro ler esses romances sobrenaturais “explosivos” e rápidos para relaxar e me divertir sem pensar muito! Tem alguns livros que eu gosto mais do que outros, mas em geral gosto muito da série por ela ser simples, com um universo bem definido, ser rápida de ler e não ter um grande aprofundamento.

Devon Carsten, o alfa da matilha de Nehalem, não poderia imaginar que ter seu irmão caçula sequestrado e em seguida conhecer seu companheiro predestinado mudaria tão drasticamente o curso de sua vida.

Nesse mundo criado pela autora, a existência dos shifters não é algo que todos os seres humanos estejam cientes. A maioria tenta viver em paz e sem chamar a atenção, mas a crueldade de alguns fez com que um grupo de humanos criasse o Conselho de Caçadores, que caça, estuda e mata indiscriminadamente qualquer shifter encontrado.

A série vai nos apresentando novos companheiros shifters e humanos, que precisam de ajuda ou de um lar, e conforme a matilha de Devon cresce, os momentos de felicidade e os perigos também aumentam. Pouco a pouco eles conseguem mudar o Conselho e fazer o grupo se concentrar em incentivar humanos e shifters a viver em harmonia e em caçar somente shifters criminosos. Porém, com isso, crimes e crueldades começam a ser descobertos, como por exemplo: shifters sendo aprisionados por anos, experimentos científicos para transformar humanos em shifters e até mesmo a gravidez masculina!

Cada livro traz a história de um casal (homem x homem), podendo ser formado por um humano e um shifter ou dois shifters. Além disso, apesar da maioria dos shifters serem lobos, existem alguns outros tipos como pumas, ursos e tigres.

Amo isso de amor à primeira vista, do shifter só ter um companheiro para a vida toda, do modo como o romance entre o casal acontece bem rápido e de, independente dos desafios, eu sempre poder contar com o “felizes para sempre” no final!

Meu Deus, as vezes eu fico rindo e pensando “Será que ninguém percebeu que as duas cidades, Nehalem e Silver Creek, praticamente só têm homens bonitos e gays!?”.
